Missing the point on Phil Gramm

Ed Morrissey wrote post about the departure of Phil from the McCain camp. As part of his post, he talked about the Gramm venture in the porn industry:
The second issue has been bouncing around the Leftosphere for a few days.  Gramm invested $15,000 in some cheesy soft-core porn film … in 1973.  Apparently he lost [...]

Last I checked it wasn’t Obama they had picked

I love how Ed Morrissey’s latest post at Hotair on the NY Times and Obama starts:
The New York Times editorial board went to bed with a virgin and woke up with a … well, a pro, in milder terms, or so they seem to imply in today’s unhappy missive. 
Last I checked, the NYT editorial board [...]

YES WE CAN!

Yes we can! We’ve made it! For all those stressful night, how refreshing to read Hot Air write:
Face it, you’re sad. I’m sad too.
 I’m not sad. Are you?
I’m glad we are going to move out of the primaries and into the general election. Next stop, the VP picks…
Like many bloggers, I like Jim Webb… Also, [...]

If you can’t handle some random interview or debate, you can’t handle the terrorists?

Well then. If you can’t face the North Carolina GOP, how are you going the terrorists, John McCain?
Michelle Malkin qualifies Howard Dean’s call like this:
Dean is now pressing McCain further on the issue–and claiming that if McCain doesn’t succeed in forcing the state party to withdraw its ad, it’s a failure of his “leadership” (read: [...]

Disappointed…

But I still have hopes that this primary season will soon be over.
It seems to me yesterday night’s Obama’s Pennsylvania defeat was more a draw than a real loss. He entered with really bad odds and appears to have been able to salvage enough to move forward without losing too many delegates.
Still, this process will [...]

ABC debates are not — I hope — real job interviews…

I really agree with John Cole:
Via TPM, Hillary:
 
We were both asked some pretty tough questions. That’s part of what happens in a debate and a campaign. And I know he spent all day yesterday complaining about the hard questions he was asked. 
But you know, being asked tough questions in a debate is nothing like the [...]

You can’t have it both ways

After the 100 years ‘misquote’, Team McCain charges that Obama is distorting McCain once again…
Via Conservative Punk. For a change, this one has nothing to do with spending 100 years in Iraq. Team Maverick is irate, for good reason as you’ll see, but what I think we’re watching here is a strategy starting to take [...]

Two flawed candidates?

I love Ed Morrissey’s conclusion on the Obama/Hillary debate that took place last night:
The progressive outrage is misplaced.  They should be angry that they only have these two flawed candidates left as choices.  ABC asked appropriate questions.  Progressives just didn’t want to hear them.
We should be angry of these two flawed candidates?
First, if you ever [...]

I hope the pro-McCain strategy backfires…

It seems that Hillary will use every tactic to ensure she wins the nomination. Even supporting or creating support for John McCain. I read her recent comments on who is qualified to be Commander in Chief and I could not believe what I was reading. I hope that is NOT the winning strategy. If primary [...]

Should the right wing be so happy?

Of course there must be great celebration on the right side of Hillary’s expected victory tonight.
Should they? Part of me says yes. We will see more infighting, more negative attacks, more bickering, etc.
 But part of me says no. While this is going on, McCain will not be on the news. He won’t be the spotlight. His ideas [...]
